Rina jaquith – 1980
it was at that time in London, that i had the privilege to meet
Clifford and rina.
Rina Jaquith known by some as 'The Bible Lady' and her husband
Clifford worked actively as ambassadors to spread the good news of
God's grace and offer of reconciliation to all. They spent time on
this mission in Israel, Northern Ireland and Africa from where she
returned to America after her husband Clifford was murdered by some
robbers. Rina set up a bible study "drop in centre" in Las Vegas. As
was her style she had an open door for all those who wanted to drop
in and hosted bible studies in a relaxed informal manner. She was in
her 80's when she ran this centre and worked through threats to her
person and damage to her property, she was robbed on occasions and
was strangled near to death but she kept the door open as long as
she was able.
Rina was a Jewish women that came to understand the preaching of the
mystery while teaching Jews about the new covenant. Rina and her
husband spent some years in Israel (Jerusalem) teaching young
travellers about the grace of God. She was special servant of the
lord putting much emphasis on personal evangelizing. It is through
her student that in 1979 I accepted Christ as my personal
savior. So I met this women in a small apartment in London and took
my friend doron with me to the Bible study that she gave. Yes it was
a women teacher with great desire to tell everyone about the free
gift of eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. Her teaching was
based on facts that as a believers you have two kind of life. This
what you live in the flesh and this what you live in the spirit.
That you can never lose your salvation only the inheritance or your
reward. So in order to maintain your spiritual position the believer
should be spiritual busy with the bible and evangelizing. You could
not easly argue with this sister because she had a good bible
knowledge. This what I still remember. I think it was 2 years
later, after I study more in the bible and in Paul letter to the
Romans chapter 8 that I wrote her letter and disagree with the main
point of her teaching about the believers 2 kind of life. She did
not like it. It happen often especially when you deal with the
Jewish women teachers that they do not like disagreement..
However I am sure that this “Bible lady” was great used by God to
help me or others to understand the revelation of the mystery given
to the apostel Pauls. May God give us more of those people who cost
what it cost standing for thr truth of the gospel. |
